Development of Laterally Graded X‐Ray Multilayer Optics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents the development of laterally graded X‐ray multilayer optics with both constant and variable lateral gradients. By precisely controlling substrate speed profiles and mask design, these multilayers achieve highly accurate lateral gradients and excellent sagittal thickness uniformity, making them ideal for spectroscopy application at ...

Evaluation of prognostic models to improve prediction of metastasis in patients following potentially curative treatment for primary colorectal cancer: the PROSPECT trial

Health Technology Assessment
Background Despite apparently curative treatment, many patients with colorectal cancer develop subsequent metastatic disease. Current prognostic models are criticised because they are based on standard staging and omit novel biomarkers.

3D Printing of Stretchable, Compressible and Conductive Porous Polyurethane for Soft Robotics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printable porous dopamine‐polyurethane acrylate elastomer results in conductive, stretchable, and compressible structures that can be metallized in situ through catechol‐mediated silver reduction. The resulting material function as both compliant soft robot with a and strain sensors without complex assemblies, enabling fully 3D‐printed soft ...

Whole-school interventions promoting student commitment to school to prevent substance use and violence, and improve educational attainment: a systematic review

Public Health Research
Background Whole-school interventions modify the school environment to promote health. A subset of these interventions promotes student commitment to school to prevent substance (tobacco, alcohol, other drugs) use and/or violence.

Reconstruction of Crack Cluster in the Rectangular Domain by Ultrasonic Waves [PDF]

, 2010
In the present article we study the reconstruction problem for clusters of linear cracks inside a rectangular domain. The parameters to be reconstructed are the number of cracks and the size and slope of each defect. The scanning is performed by a single

Scalable Task Planning via Large Language Models and Structured World Representations

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work efficiently combines graph‐based world representations with the commonsense knowledge in Large Language Models to enhance planning techniques for the large‐scale environments that modern robots will need to face. Planning methods often struggle with computational intractability when solving task‐level problems in large‐scale environments ...

Robot Introspection with Bayesian Nonparametric Vector Autoregressive Hidden Markov Models

, 2018
Robot introspection, as opposed to anomaly detection typical in process monitoring, helps a robot understand what it is doing at all times. A robot should be able to identify its actions not only when failure or novelty occurs, but also as it executes ...

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Discrete Trial Instruction vs. Mand Training for Teaching Children With Autism to Make Requests [PDF]

The Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2008
The present study compared the effects of discrete trial instruction (DTI) and mand training on the acquisition of independent requests in 6 children with autism. Two multiple-probe designs across participants were conducted with 3 participants receiving mand training followed by DTI and the other 3 receiving DTI followed by mand training.
